A compact field guide to stabilize Grok when you see joking tone, schema drift, or tool-call wobble. Use the checks below to localize failure, then jump to the exact WFGY fix page.
## Open these first
- Visual map and recovery: [RAG Architecture & Recovery](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rag-architecture-and-recovery.md)
- End-to-end retrieval knobs: [Retrieval Playbook](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-playbook.md)
- Why this snippet: [Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md)
- Ordering control: [Rerankers](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rerankers.md)
- Embedding vs meaning: [Embedding ≠ Semantic](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/embedding-vs-semantic.md)
- Hallucination and chunk boundaries: [Hallucination](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/hallucination.md)
- Long chains and entropy: [Context Drift](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/context-drift.md), [Entropy Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/entropy-collapse.md)
- Snippet and citation schema: [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md)
- Logic repairs: [Logic Collapse](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/logic-collapse.md)
## Fix in 60 seconds
1) **Measure ΔS**
- Compute ΔS(question, retrieved) and ΔS(retrieved, expected anchor).
- Thresholds: stable < 0.40, transitional 0.400.60, risk 0.60.
2) **Probe with λ_observe**
- Vary k = {5, 10, 20}. Flat high curve index or metric mismatch.
- Reorder prompt headers; if ΔS spikes, lock the schema.
3) **Apply the module**
- Retrieval drift **BBMC** + [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md).
- Reasoning collapse **BBCR bridge** + **BBAM** variance clamp.
- Dead ends in long runs **BBPF** alternate path.
- Overconfident style [Bluffing Controls](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/bluffing.md).
4) **Verify**
- Coverage to target section 0.70 in three paraphrases.
- ΔS 0.45 for the accepted answer.
- λ remains convergent across seeds and paraphrase variants.
---
## Typical breakpoints and the right fix
- **Playful or sarcastic style overrides facts**
Use citation-first schema from [Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md) and clamp with **BBAM**. Route claims through snippet ids only.
- **Tool call returns free-text instead of JSON**
Wrap tool section with strict [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md). Add repair loop header and a short JSON example.
- **High similarity but wrong meaning**
Confirm metric/store fit with [Embedding ≠ Semantic](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/embedding-vs-semantic.md). If ΔS stays flat-high vs k, rebuild or change metric.
- **Cites the right file but wrong paragraph**
Apply [Rerankers](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rerankers.md) and enforce paragraph-level ids in the schema. Verify ΔS(retrieved, anchor).
- **Long thread drifts back to jokes or meta talk**
Check [Context Drift](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/context-drift.md). Insert a **BBCR** bridge node and refresh the trace header.
- **After correction it re-asserts the old claim**
See pattern **Hallucination re-entry** under [Patterns](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_hallucination_reentry.md). Lock previous verdicts as constraints.
---
## Provider-specific gotchas (what to watch)
- **Tone bias** toward witty answers. Always start with a citation-first, schema-locked header to keep style secondary to evidence.
- **JSON drift** on long tool outputs. Show a one-shot JSON block and add a short repair loop with max two retries.
- **Stop conditions** not respected when the schema is loose. Add explicit stop tokens and a cut here delimiter in the schema.
- **Seed variance** a bit higher on open-ended prompts. Verify λ convergence with three paraphrases; if it wobbles, add BBAM and shrink the open text zones.

## Copy-paste triage prompt
```txt
Read WFGY Problem Map pages for Retrieval Traceability, Data Contracts, Rerankers, and Embedding≠Semantic.
Given my failing Grok run:
- symptom: [brief]
- traces: ΔS(question,retrieved)=..., ΔS(retrieved,anchor)=..., λ states, seed notes
Tell me:
1) which layer is failing and why,
2) which exact WFGY page to open,
3) minimal steps to push ΔS ≤ 0.45 and keep λ convergent,
4) a reproducible verify step (coverage ≥ 0.70; three paraphrases).
Use BBMC/BBCR/BBPF/BBAM as needed and return a short audit trail.
